Kindness means taking the time to listen – not only to others, but to your own heart. So often, you and those around you seek external validation. You desperately long to feel special. You desperately need to be seen. But the validation you seek will just leave you hungry for more when validation comes from external sources.
Your own inner eye is the source of lasting, fulfilling awareness. This inner eye uses introspection and contemplation to reveal the true radiance of your spirit.
Kindness isn’t conveyed by liking someone’s social media post or having someone like your post. Kindness is connecting with others in your heart space by focusing on that which unifies, not that which divides.
There is no message more timely and critical than this one: The need to feel special is at the heart of your loneliness epidemic. As counterintuitive as it sounds, to receive reprieve from feelings of isolation and loneliness, you need to journey within.
There is a beautiful warm fire waiting for you. It’s the fire inside your own heart. Basking in the warmth of its blaze, you will find the recognition, the self-knowing that replaces the need to be seen and known by others. This is the place where you and I can finally rest together. There is peace, tranquility, and safety in companionship with me, as we gaze into the dancing flames of your self-worth.
You were never meant to feel this pain of separation. Living in a culture that celebrates achievement, education, travel, and wealth fuels an unhealthy drive to feel special. But in doing so, you willingly set yourself apart from others. Even the need to feel special by doing good deeds or demonstrating commitment to a spiritual practice can be a form of external validation that is just as addictive as social media.
Look to nothing but communion with with me beside your own inner fire, and you will finally feel the depth of your precious value and your unique worth, sweet child.
